Newcastle vs Arsenal prediction: Aubameyang can impress if Arteta selects him

If there is a perfect fixture to sort out Arsenal's form, history tells us it is a match against Newcastle United.

Arsenal are the favourites to win at 21/20 with Betfred while Newcastle are 13/5 - the same for a draw.

Arsenal have an impressive record against the Newcastle beating them in 15 of their 16 league games losing only once in that time 2-1 back in April 2018.

The Gunners have won their last six meetings with their hosts in all competitions, keeping a clean sheet in their last five.

All of which are ingredients for Mikel Arteta to hit the reset button and get his side back to winning ways - especially when there is a Europa League final place up for grabs on Thursday night.

But first, they will need to wrap up against Steve Bruce's side in convincing fashion which is easier said than done.

The Magpies have picked up only one defeat in their last five matches - winning two and drawing two.

Tips

  • Aubameyang to score anytime - Evens
  • Over 2.5 goals - 4/5

First off, this game could promise goals considering both sides are not well known for impressive defensive records.

In fact, six of Newcastle's last eight home matches have featured over 2.5 goals marking the prospect of something similar likely and worth considering.

Meanwhile, Arsenal's false-nine approach has so far failed considering the display we saw on Thursday night. They need a finisher and they will have Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at their disposal - whether it is from the start or off the bench we will find out.
